1979 Land Rover Defender 109 LWB Description

Solid, unrestored original 1979 Land Rover Series III. This is a solid Safari-roof 109 Wagon model in the desirable TWELVE SEATER configuration. Runs and drives well for a vintage 109.

83K original miles. Desirable 2.6L straight 6 cyl motor, not the 2.25 4 cyl motor. Salisbury rearend. Rebuilt carburetor, new water pump, exhaust gaskets, battery, HD alternator and brake master cylinder. New set of GOODYEAR Wrangler tires all around. Two spares.
RUST FREE chassis, floorboards, doors, bulkhead and cross-member. Originally Marine blue, painted over in Wimbledon beige. No dents, accidents or damage. NEEDS PAINT.

Nice original black leatherette interior, with good headliner, door panels and VERY CLEAN seats. All lenses replaced, vintage foglights. Still has its fold-down steps all the way around. Perfect grille.

This super vintage 109 would make an excellent base for a concours restoration, an overlander or just drive it as it is. Gets tons of looks and turns heads even from $140K Range Rover drivers!

Original UK license plates, comes with a bonded title. There is NOTHING comparable in the market for the money.
I can assist with delivery / transportation of this Series III anywhere nationwide or overseas at the most economical rate available.

This Land Rover 109 can be viewed by appt in the Baywood knolls neighborhood in West San Mateo, near Hillsdale high school. Unlike the vast majority of sellers who advertise what they do not know, I am a long-time Land Rover enthusiast and still own three others ( a 2010 Sport Supercharged, a 2000 DII TreK and a 1966 109).
I have owned Land Rovers my whole life, various models and vintages, and know all their quirks well.

I am also advertising this vehicle in other venues, and as such, reserve the right to end this listing at any time, should a serious offer present itself. Solid 109s are getting harder and harder to find, specially in original, unaltered condition. Priced right at $22500 and it is turn-key and ready to drive.

I will be glad to assist coordinating shipping of this 109 anywhere nationwide or overseas, at the most economical shipping rate available. Please keep in mind, I do not control transporter pick-up or delivery times; that is pending weather conditions and shipping/ trucking delivery schedules. I will do everything I can on my end to ensure and expedite delivery at the most financially sensible rate on the market.

Should you be the winning bidder, I would like to receive payment within THREE business days, please. Payment can be made via cashier's check or certified funds.

Personal, business or annuity checks may be utilized, but must clear funds first, prior to any transportation arrangements being made.

If you have questions or would like to discuss other payment arrangements be sure to contact me prior to placing a bid.

An alternate method of payment can be done via bank wire transfer to my local CHASE Bank branch here in town. It is a very simple process, and it helps expedite delivery of the car.

Unlike the vast majority of sellers who advertise what they do not know ( let alone some sketchy car dealer!), I am a long-time Land Rover enthusiast and still own four others ( a 2010 Supercharged, a 2000 TreK, a 1987 SWB and a 1966 109). I have owned Land Rovers my whole life, various models and vintages, and know all their quirks well.

I am also a 26 yr veteran of this great country's military, and still serving. My reputation and feedback speak for themselves. I do not play games.

Feel free to EM or call me with questions or serious inquiries. Thank you for viewing
